You stand at the cliff rim above Alanya, wind beginning to push warm air across the ridge, the Mediterranean glittering below like a slow-moving blue highway. Pilots check harnesses and radios, the wing inflates behind you, and a short running start sends you off the promontory—suddenly the town, the castle and Cleopatra Beach spread beneath as you float.

You stand at the cliff rim above Alanya, wind beginning to push warm air across the ridge, the Mediterranean glittering below like a slow-moving blue highway. Pilots check harnesses and radios, the wing inflates behind you, and a short running start sends you off the promontory—suddenly the town, the castle and Cleopatra Beach spread beneath as you float.
This coastal launch sits on the southwestern flank of the Taurus foothills above Alanya, where limestone ridges drop to a narrow coastal plain. The city’s Seljuk-era castle and Ottoman harbors frame a coastline worn by tectonic uplift and marine erosion, creating the sheer cliffs paraglider pilots favor. Flying here mixes local culture—seaside cafes and beach life at landing—with a geology that makes reliable inland thermals and cliff lift possible in calmer windows.
Expect a 15–25 minute tandem flight from approximately 700 meters altitude, plus briefing and transfer; total outing runs about 90 minutes. Licensed pilots provide safety gear, in-flight photos, and a controlled landing on Cleopatra Beach where a ground crew meets you. Not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with serious back or heart conditions; infants must sit on laps.
Practical tips: wear sturdy shoes and a windproof layer, bring sun protection, and keep a compact camera on a secure strap. Optimal conditions are early morning or late afternoon when thermals are gentler. Operators carry insurance and will brief you on the takeoff run—short but decisive. Landings deposit you onto sand and sea-scented air; from there, a coffee or cold Ayran at a nearby seaside café is a fitting cooldown.
Tandem flights typically last 15–25 minutes in the air; the full activity including briefing and transfers is about 90 minutes.
Operators set specific limits—infants must sit on laps—but most bookings suit a wide range of adults; declare age and weight when booking.
